mum had to see the reef
before it dies she said
I said don't be so dramatic, mum
but now it's bleached and dying
while they keep on mining
it's coral or coal
but not both
p
how do deniers whine
they need a sign
life is dying
right before our eyes
c
we can't say we didn't know
only that we didn't know better
we can't say we weren't told
only that we didn't know better

meantime life goes on as always
cars jammed up for miles
pumping out poison gas
hoping for normal lives
p
but the world has changed
can't go on this way
expecting things
to be the same
b
don't wanna be that guy
with the doomsday sign
but it's minutes to midnight
what we do today
will make a change
we've got to
rise and fight
